Salt Lake City is attracting the atten-
ton of the country at the p esent time
I as perhaps no other city in the Union.
! Both at the east and west the ak is
ABOUT Salt Lake, and people generally
| are sanguine Of the good times in store
! for US. After studying the question in
4 its various phases, they are forced to
the inevita ole conclusion that this CITY
is marked out by nature as one of the
great centres of the west, and that
sooner or later it must enter upon an
extended ca eer. But it is not only
abroad that our resources and sttrac
tons are receiving attention, the people
here at home have unbOunded faith in
their capacity to become the mead and
chief ornament Of one of the weaithiest
aud most prosperous COmmunwealths
in the Union. In vIew of these things.

TIE sIruATIoR OF SALT LAKE
is one of TIL most beautiful that can De
imagined. All around her is a country
whose agricultural, mineral and manu-
ifacSuring resources, as yet largely VA
developed, render 1t naturally Ole of the
richest aud most wonderful on the face
of the globe, aud this Is her heritage for
drawing a bounteous support. TIE
city IS situa ed III the curve OF grand
sweep of The mountEln range, whose
giant PEAKS rise abruptly from the val
ley without even the formaIy Of tooS
hills. AS one approaches the mountains
towards the north, the land gradually
rises, aud the northern ami eastern bog
